Open Source GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) Chemistry Software

atomes is a Free (Open Source) cross-platform software licensed under the terms of the Affero GPL v3+ license. atomes is a toolbox developed to analyze, to visualize and to create/edit three-dimensional atomistic models. atomes also provides an advanced input preparation system for further calculations using well known molecular dynamics codes: - Classical MD : DL-POLY and LAMMPS - ab-initio MD : CPMD and CP2K - QM-MM MD : CPMD and CP2K atomes is developed by Dr. Sébastien Le Roux, research engineer for the CNRS Dr. Sébastien Le Roux works at the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg.

We present an improved ball and stick representation called HyperBalls. This type of depiction is particularly useful to represent dynamic phenomena, such as the evolution of non covalent bonds and takes advantage of GPU capabilities. HyperBalls are now fully integrated into the UnityMol software and are actively developed in that context. You will find the most up-to-date versions of the shaders in the http://unitymol.sourceforge.net project.
